Displaying Server Status Using The Hardware - Digital Equipment DIGITAL Server 7100 1200 Service Maintenance Manual

DIGITAL ServerWORKS Manager allows the Network or Server Administrator to
perform the following functions on the server:
•
Manage DIGITAL PC print, file, and application servers supported by
DIGITAL servers using a Windows-based graphical user interface (GUI) for
point and click simplicity.
•
Display server component information that provides critical information such
as processor and file system utilization and information about the network
interface.
•
Automatically build a database of the network by Autodiscovering all SNMP
network resources and display the nodes discovered during Autodiscovery
on a color-coded topological map.
•
Poll all network devices at intervals defined by the administrator.
•
Perform an in-depth network analysis to continuously monitor the status of
the network.
•
Set alarms and alerts for specified events on all network devices, as well as
the network itself, to spot problems early and avoid costly downtime.
Refer to the DIGITAL ServerWORKS Manager Overview and Installation Guide for more
information on how to use ServerWORKS Manager to view and be notified of events on
the server.
You can also manage the DIGITAL Server with other SNMP-based managers.
Refer to the DIGITAL ServerWORKS Manager Overview and Installation Guide for more

Displaying Server Status Using the Hardware

There are two types of information displayed when the DIGITAL Server is operating:
•
Normal status messages
•
Error messages
During normal operation, Power On Self Test (POST) and boot messages are
displayed on the monitor. Some POST messages are also displayed on the OCP
panel. When an error occurs, an error message is displayed on both the monitor and
OCP panel and a beep is sounded from the server's speaker.
Messages displayed on the OCP panel can also be seen by using the DIGITAL
ServerWORKS Manager.
